--Update Jan 28 2018-- Hello fellow avid writers and readers alike! I would just like to apologize profoundly for my unexplained(?) absence. My profile that follows this post is completely out of date, for starters. My dogs are currently 8 and 3, and I no longer half lease the gelding mentioned below, however own a horse of my own now due to unforeseen monetary issues concerning a friend of mine, of which I shan't get into detail, and I have had many tragic and many happy things happen over the years. However, good news is that I've started to write again, and if you could possibly tell from this short, or lengthy note (which will be determined by the end of this section if you partake in this whole excerpt), I have changed my style of writing and gained a little bit of a more mature feel to it. (Thank you English!). This is something I would like to mention. This will hopefully be my last update on , expect for possibly an author's note in some of my stories on this user. "Oh, but Apple! If you aren't on , where art thou?!" Good question, one of which I have an answer to. I have moved to AO3, or Archive Of Our Own, under the user of DocHolliday. At the time of moving, back in early 2016, I had read and re-read almost everything I was interested in on this website and I was looking for something new to read. There wasn't anything all that moving on this site, and save for a few individual fictions, there wasn't anything compelling or stimulating my mind in such a way that I wanted it to. I had to always go into the 'M' rating to find anything that I would enjoy reading, and even then I couldn't find much from that, and considering how much I felt dirty going into 'M' at that age, I hardly did that. And as time went on 'M' felt like it was a Percy Jackson novel, or something for kids, not what I thought it was. So I started on AO3, and reading the stuff that was there compared to here was extraordinary. Sure, there was some stuff with hardly any plot and more of the stuff that should be enjoyed by consensual partners in the privacy in their own home, but it was almost easier to find what I was searching for when I was searching for it. And I noticed that there were more and more stories being taken down by the team because of explicit material that would've been tame to read. Also, I was childish and my spirit got broken by someone who couldn't even create an account here, however I am now better equipped to deal with that sort of emotional abuse now. So I moved, and I've begun writing again there. So hopefully we can meet each other on that site! I thank each and every one of my supporters, and extend my sympathies in that I am sorry that I could not continue on this account. Until next time! Ja ne!
